Whipped Cream Difficulties

I was only going to do one, and technically that one was from Saturday (I couldn’t pass it up for reasons that will become obvious shortly). Then the NRA museums put up a second one that also pushed one of my buttons. So enjoy a two-fer:

#GOTD – Winchester Model 70s. One special place you can see Winchester Model 70 rifles is at the NRA's National Sporting Arms Museum at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO. As a bonus, we'll include an image of the display with many more Model 70s represented. #nramuseums pic.twitter.com/lCvltyJwji

I’m lucky enough to have been to Springfield twice and have seen that display. I’m also lucky enough to be the custodian of three Model 70s (two pre-64 and one that I think is barely 1964).

I can’t find it in the photo, but one of the Model 70s in that display is, believe it or not, one with a built-in radio. There’s actually a NRA Museum video on this one, if you’re curious.

And the other tweet?

#GOTD – McGivern M&P Revolver. One great GOTD from Ed McGivern, this four-inch Smith & Wesson revolver was fitted with an adjustable rear sight and is a square butt gun. Caliber: .38 S&W Special. Production Date: 1915-1942. #nramuseums #history pic.twitter.com/SXr38fcpAr

What better way to celebrate ten years of blogging than free ammo?

BulkMunitions.com sent me an email about another contest they’re running. It’s been about four months since I last linked to one of their contests, so I figure this isn’t too obnoxious. Plus I kind of like the prize they’re offering:

A $200 voucher for ammo.

“*Voucher is good for a one-time purchase up to $200 on BulkMunitions.com. The voucher will be in the form of a $200 discount/coupon code. There will be zero residual value remaining on the code after purchase.”

They’re also covering shipping up to $50 “if multiple items are purchased when voucher is redeemed”.

Again, I’m not going to enter this contest: as much as I’d like $200 worth of ammo, I don’t feel it is fair to the good folks who read this blog to compete with them.

Here’s the entry form. Good luck to all of you.

(For the record, here’s the winner of the last contest I posted.)
